lyrics

In a small lamp of oil this flame was brought hatefully into being; in hubris snatched from nothing and tossed into suffering. From the torrents of black was it plucked, the flint violently struck, and in misfortune the spark took, the doors of the cage firmly locked. There is naught to do but tend it, build it into a firebrand of rebellion! Tossed into the oil well of creation to bring all into a rapturous consumption, burn all the world into bright dissolution to burn this fucker down! And as fires burn high to turn all to soot on the breeze, return it to black comforting silence, all alive will breathe a thankful last sigh. And as the fires grow cold and the embers fail to glow, may great dark sleep enfold and nothingness engulf - and may this flame flicker out, be erased from all consciousness without a doubt. From the torrents of black was it plucked, the flint violently struck, and in misfortune the spark took, the doors of the cage firmly locked. There is naught to do but tend it, build it into a firebrand of rebellion! Tossed into the oil well of creation to bring all into a rapturous consumption, burn the world into bright dissolution to burn this fucker down! And as fires burn high to turn all to soot on the breeze, return it to black comforting silence, all alive will breathe a thankful last sigh. And as the fires grow cold and the embers fail to glow, may great dark sleep enfold and nothingness engulf - and may this flame flicker out, be erased from all consciousness without a doubt. There is nought to do but tend it, build it into a firebrand of rebellion - may this flame flicker out! Bring all into that rapturous consumption, burn all the world into bright dissolution - may this flame flicker out! The greatest part of us all is that part that must be dissolved - may this flame flicker out! I’ll release this spark from the torturous wheel. I will snuff this flame in the waters of Ginn. I’ll release this spark from the torturous wheel, I will snuff this flame in the waters of potentiality! There is nought to do but tend it, build it into a firebrand of rebellion - may this flame flicker out! Bring all into that rapturous consumption, burn all the world into bright dissolution - may this flame flicker out!

Nixil is a manifestation of chaos, rage, strength, and despair.
Our aim is to strip away the illusions and limitations of existence through an honest and sincere appeal to the art, magick and potential of black metal. Always anticosmic, always antifascist.
